Note
This removal procedure applies to both the spring-loaded and non-spring-loaded X2 transceiver
modules.
Caution
The X2 transceiver module is a static-sensitive device. Always use an ESD wrist strap or similar
individual grounding device when handling X2 transceiver modules or coming into contact with
modules.
To remove an X2 transceiver, follow these steps:
Step 1
Disconnect the network interface cable from the X2 transceiver module connectors. If this is an optical
X2 transceiver module, immediately reinstall dust plugs in the X2 transceiver module optical bores and
in the fiber-optic cable SC connectors.
Step 2
Place your thumb and forefinger around the X2 transceiver module EMI gasket flange and gently press
the EMI gasket flange against the system module front panel. (See
Figure 7
, top view.) At the same time,
with the thumb and forefinger of your other hand, grip the sides of the X2 transceiver module latching
sleeve, and pull the latching sleeve out to release the X2 transceiver module from the socket connector.
Release the latching sleeve when you feel the X2 transceiver module unlatch.
Step 3
Slide the X2 transceiver module out of the socket. (See
Figure 7
, bottom view.) Immediately place the
X2 transceiver module in an antistatic bag.
Step 4
If you are not installing an X2 transceiver module in the empty socket, place a socket cover over the
empty socket opening and press on the cover until it snaps into place.
